In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 227):
Billy carefully sets up his preferred scenario, summoning a 10-story building made of Amazing (60) materials.
Susie, Frankie, and Bobby appear when Billy gives the word, and exchange sidelong glances as Billy attempts to slice through the building's supports in a creatively destructive way.
The word "attempts" is necessary, as the effort fails and his cuts produce no domino effect at all.
"Ha ha!," Frankie laughs, the pitch rising in a
Nelson-like manner.
"Runnin' the gauntlet?" Bobby says, folds his arms across his chest. "Brave of you. But that means we're not holding back. Dial's set to maximum intelligence, so...let's see what you've got!"
Bobby nods at Frankie, who barrels forward and attempts to grab Billy.
[Grappling: 81, partial hold]
Frankie manages to get ahold of Billy's shoulders, whipping around the back and pressing his arms against his sides.
"Good work, Frankie," Bobby grins. "Now just hold 'im there..."
The brawler lunges forward and attempts to slug Billy in the gut with a powerful fist.
[Fistpunch: 12, miss]
Even with Frankie's help, Bobby's blow sails past Billy's head...but not past Frankie's!
[Unintended Target (Frankie): 60, slam?)]
Frankie's form thrums as the blow plinks off his absurdly heavy armor (Kinetic Charges: +50), and though the force of the blow does threaten to send him sprawling...
[Endurance (Frankie): 88, no slam]
...he manages to maintain both his partial hold and his footing.
"Sorry 'bout that," Bobby says, waving his right fist in the air to shake off the vibrations from the impact. "Lemme try that again..."
[Doubletime: 58, green, fail]
His arm blurs for a moment, then solidifies again.
"Dammit! Every time..."
"Leave it to me, boys," Susie commands, surrounding herself with a skin-tight shell and gesturing toward Billy.
[Quickened Forcefield: 78, success]
A collection of debris swirls around her, concentrates into a tight cone, and lances toward Billy's neck!
[Mind Games: 83, stun?]
Bap! Biff! Bonk! Boop!
Billy is assailed by materials driven by psychic energy, which increases their damage potential but does not transform their damage type (edged, in this case). His personal shield groans as it disperses a portion of the damage.
[Damage (Billy): 50 - 20 (field) - 10 (EVA Armor) = 20]
[Stun (Billy)?: TBD on Billy's turn]
"Had enough?" she asks. "It's really only a matter of time..."
